Join Grow Native Halton for a guided Tree Identification Walk at Mountainside Park in Burlington with local naturalist and tree enthusiast Pat O’Reilly 🌳

Have you ever wondered how to tell one tree from another? On this casual guided walk, we’ll explore common native trees found in our local woodlots, learn simple identification tips, and talk about the important role trees play in supporting birds, pollinators, and biodiversity.

Some of the trees we may encounter include Serviceberry, Northern Red Oak, Basswood, Eastern White Pine, American Elm, and the uniquely textured Musclewood.

Pat will guide participants through the park while sharing identification tips, ecological relationships, and interesting stories about the trees that shape our local forests.
